Pros B-
We were PLEASED to note that JoJo took part in the inaugural school trip to Derbyshire, although we understand she turned up late, sat in the garden wearing a stetson and fell asleep before the quiz was finished ...  There’s no denying she has had a VERY POOR year with her Pros fic.  And a “migraine from hell” was frankly a WEEDY excuse for not attending the annual Scarsdale ceremony.  We are interested to observe her fledgling attempts at Pros podfic but it remains to be seen if she is in fact ALL MOUTH and no trousers.  One assignment owed to probodie . ETA and one to zana16 .  This just gets worse and worse!

Mag7 B++
It was FASCINATING to see JoJo unexpectedly crash land in Four Corners during the summer.  She has coped well with the very HOT desert conditions and goshdarnit her fellow students are top-notch.  All in all she has showed great enthusiasm for this complex and wide-ranging subject.  Her fanvid-making skills are CLUNKY in the extreme but she has wisely chosen to be mentored by the very best in ancastar .  We may have to peel her off Ezra before she WHUMPS him into an early grave but hope to encourage her to expand her horizons and enrol in Mag7 Pron 101 before very long.

Supernatural C
JoJo is currently LAGGING way behind most of the rest of the class.  What is going on with her? Although she completed her S4 assignment, thanks to the sterling beta work of mara_snh , she appears to be IGNORING the curriculum completely at the moment in favour of hanging around the Saloon.  We are concerned she may not be able to catch up and may be FAILED (epically) due to missing the apocalypse altogether.  Assignments owed to callistosh65 , ancastar  and erushi .

S&H D-
A bitterly DISAPPOINTING year.  JoJo has produced nothing.  She didn’t kill Starsky once (not even in a hundred words) and we find her remorse unconvincing.  It should be pointed out there is still The Unfinished Story.  It is sitting just over there underneath Hutch.  UNFINISHED.  We await updates with derision interest.

ASJ B+
This year has been pleasing and JoJo has made PROGRESS with the help of the burgeoning lj com and LOVELY new friends such as hardboiledbaby .  We note, however, that she is rather stuck in a rut with this subject and insists on producing only SMUT.  One assignment owed to foxcat74 .

The Sentinel F
It is to be feared that JoJo is in danger of being THROWN OUT of class.  While commendably watching repeat episodes on the tellybox she attended no tutorials and remained uninspired to write any fic.  JoJo clearly needs to work harder to channel her inner Jim.


Yeah, you’ve really got to worry when you start referring to yourself in the third person *g*

Happy New Year, my lovely fannish friends xxxxxx

Twelve fandoms were chosen in a vote.  If you fancy reccing (and later reading), light the blue touchpaper HERE

Instead of finishing my 19th-century novel of railways and brotherhood (what? I had the idea on a train ... but OK yeah, J K Rowling I am not), I’ve spent the last four years (count 'em!) writing this little lot. 

FANFIC MASTERLIST featuring Gen and Slash stories for Alias Smith and Jones Magnificent Seven The Professionals Starsky and Hutch Supernatural The Sentinel

Rather worryingly, the WIP masterlist (which sounds sinister) is almost as long.  Also rather worryingly, while callistosh65 (busy scribbling  during this time a thousand odd miles away) found she'd written more than she thought, I've found I've written way less than I thought.  What the hell, displacement activity has never been so much fun!

One of the precious things in my life: going to see dance performances with my big sis.  Last night it was Northern Ballet Theatre's production of Wuthering Heights.  So yay gin and tonics and then we duly got in a lather about Heathcliff's long, dark hair flapping about while he moodied around the stage.  All beautifully done by a fabulous little company.  And suitably wild, passionate and disturbing.  Must read the book again.

And then cowboys.  I've been bitten by a bug wearing a colt-45.  Clip clop!

Have a lovely weekend everybody xx

So the inaugural unveiling of my first cowboy-boyfriend-whump has taken place atmag7_fic .  It's Gen and hurty - I am nothing if not totally predictable *g*

Strange Bedfellows

Y'all don't need to take any notice of this of course, I'm just being tidy-minded.

But here's a few more Monument Valley pics from April just to be sociable and cos there's hawses

( and because the sky does amazing things ... )
